Just installed Windows 7 and no Internet

[kiroshin]

F5D7000, Checked the back of my card.

Not sure if that 5 is an S, couldn't see properly. Had to tilt my computer just to see it.

Sorry for the mistake above. Also if this makes any difference, it was a clean install from XP. I reformatted to XP and my internet works now but I can't just upgrade. I was hoping if I just upgraded instead of a clean install it would allow me to keep my internet.

I don't know the rest of the specs of your computer, and if it qualifies for win7, but if it does you could always get another wireless card.
They are cheap.

Good luck

Edit: there is a vista driver for your card at the site I gave you in one of my previous posts.

 

[kiroshin]

Vista drivers work for Windows 7? If so, thank you very much squonksc!

Vista drivers work in win 7 as long as they are the same OS. Vista 32 works in win 7 32bit. ALso they may need to be installed in the vista compatibility mode

How would you install it in vista compatibility mode? Also, without internet at first on windows 7, would I be able to install the driver if I downloaded it now into an usb and then opened it up in windows 7?

Yes you would.

One word of caution.
Please make sure you backup everything. Not only files, but also think of your favorites, your email addresses, etc..

And a word of advice.

From the questions you ask I gather you are not very experienced at installing a new OS.
I would advise you to get a more experienced friend to assist you.

There are a million things that can go wrong.

Good luck

to use compat mode right-click file>properties>compatibility>check vista.

yes you could use usb. when installing just point it to where you have the file stored on usb.

This thread should be combined with this. Same man, same issue, basicly the same question.

Kari

Strange?:shock: In the older thread he had already installed windows 7.
In this thread he talks about the upgrade advisor.

Well, maybe this is his second attempt.

Could be I've misunderstood. If so, it's my bad.

Ken, found his routers manual. To access routers internal setup web-interface he has to go to http://gateway.2wire.net

Can be handy to know later.

KAri

You saying he has to go to that url? cause I tried it and its not good

Sorry

This OP was running two threads that were basically the same problem. he was asking different questions abt the same problem so they thought it better to combine them.

I know, I was joking.

 

[kiroshin]

Thanks for the combine. The reason I made this thread after my other one is because I decided to reformat back to XP after I couldn't figure out how to fix my internet in Windows 7. I also took this chance to see my network adapter.

Also, @ Banderz

My version is 3.30.15.0

If I downloaded version 8xxx (It says its compatible with Vista 32bit) would my card still work with it?

I know it is a bit funny address for a setup web-interface, but so it says in the manual (page 11).

Kari

EDIT:

Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering
http://gateway.2wire.net.

Update: I once again upgraded to Windows 7 and tried some new methods. With a USB I brought over F5D7000 Drivers version 3xxx and 8xxx. I installed both and both of them installed correctly. However, the drivers don't appear under Network Adapters or anything. Therefore, I again don't have internet. (Posting this from another computer with XP) Am I doing anything wrong?

Edit: Yes I rebooted after each installation. I even tried a Ralink 2500 driver. In desperation I tried moving the .sys files from Ralink and Belkin into my system32\drivers folder with no success. Please help, I'm willing to try anything

Update 2: I went into device manager and did the manual hardware uprade thing and found a Belkin Driver. I installed that but it gave me code 31 "The device is not working properly beecause windows cannot load drivers required for the device"

EDIT:

OK directly from my 2wire modem

http://gateway.2wire.net/xslt?PAGE=A01&THISPAGE=E01&NEXTPAGE=A01

now to access the modem from your computer:
http://192.168.1.254/mdc
then you can change what you want.

Windows 7 does have a problem at times with 2Wire.
FIX: every time it jams.
1. open network and sharing
2. delete what ever network is showing.
3. I prefer to use Setup a new network.
pay attention. when ask go to advanced. that is where you enter your 2wire log and password.
4. finish out and close.
reboot if it does not auto find and login.

If he want info from 2wire. try this:
http://support.2wire.com/

Just a update.. I've given up and went back to Windows XP until they release a driver for Windows 7. If they don't I'll probably just end up buying a new wireless card or usb.
